Almost all of the journalists who cover the Department of Defense have turned in their passes because they wouldn't comply with the Pentagon's new rules. DoD says it's a privilege not a right to cover their work. NO it is the right of the American people to know what is happening. ⬇️

We have participated in a new filing urging the Florida Supreme Court to order The Florida Bar to follow its own rules and investigate claims that A. G. Pamela Bondi has acted unethically. The Florida Bar's position in its dismissal of our initial complain is dangerous. 🧵

Four years ago, we filed a complaint against Asst AG Jeffrey Clark, also signed by many prominent members of the DC Bar. It alleged that Clark sought to pressure Justice Department leaders to issue a knowingly false statement about significant fraud in the 2020 presidential election. 🧵

Lawyers ask us what they can do to respond to this moment. They refuse to be spectators as the administration demonstrates disdain for the work of governance and carries out retributions for no other purpose than to harm those they do not like.

We answer... join us ldad.org/letters-brie...

The courts are already ruling against Trump’s executive orders aimed at law firms. Not only are they illegal, they are unenforceable & they harm the justice system by making lawyers complicit in undermining the rule of law. It’s our job to stand up for the rule of law.
